Bay and Fox famously clashed while working on the first two “Transformers” movies. At one point during an interview with a British magazine, Fox compared her director to Hitler. Bay lashed back with some tart words of his own, questioning Fox’s work ethic: “I’m sorry, Megan. … I’m sorry that I’m making you show up on time.”

They parted ways for the third installment in the series, “Transformers: Dark of the Moon,” with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley stepping in to play the part of drop-dead-gorgeous female.

“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” started out as a comic-book series but became an international phenomenon with video games, TV, film and seemingly endless merchandising spinoffs. That means it’s not exactly a surprise that remake-loving Hollywood finally turned its attention to the popular franchise.

Details are scarce about the remake featuring the four humanoid turtles boasting Renaissance-era names — Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael — as they navigate New York City’s sewer system to fight evil under the guidance of Splinter, a mutant rat trained in ninjutsu.

Despite their East Coast leanings, the turtles were heavy on surf lingo. Leo and the gang are at least partly responsible for words such as “bummer,” “radical,” “bodacious” and, of course, “cowabunga!” taking hold in pop culture.

Among the questions fans will have on the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” redo are: When is the release date? Who else will be cast? Will Fox play April O’Neil, the turtles’ human sidekick?

And while we’re asking lots of questions, let’s ask this one: Are you looking forward to a remake of “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”?

I was looking forward to a TMTN remake, until I heard Michael Bay was directing. He ruined Transformers. Now he'll ruin the Turtles. What other 80's franchise will he mangle next? Watch out, Strawberry Shortcake!

We know a tmnt film isn’t going to win any oscars no matter who directs it, it’s just not that type of story. But show some respect to the fans. These producers should look at what Nickelodeon has done to refresh the franchise, and that’s sticking to the source material but giving it a modern feel. The original content has worked since ’84 and doesn’t need to be re-imagined.

TMNT from space!!!!! You gotta be kidding me. Just knowing that…. makes me angry. As a child, I grew watching the Turtles. Weather or not he directs this movie, I know the truth, its my kids who he's destroying for

Bring back full human costumes! This whole CGI stuff is so lame for some things! Technology for full suits with people with talent in them has got to be better by now. And where is Eddie Reyes Jr. when you need him? –
